Pros

The Insulin Pump and products that go along with it are great to help customers who need it to manage their Diabetes. The technology is a great tool to help those living with this disease live as normal of a life as possible.

Cons

I process orders to get supplies to the customers. There just is no standard as to do the best quality job to get the customers their product. The company values quantity over quality every time. They have meetings that give great speeches to try and motivate the workers and give reports that make it seem as though the workers are doing a great job. Then when they have smaller team meeting the supervisors and leads tell their teams that they are not doing as well as they would like. They always contradict themselves everyday it seems. The people who are meeting their metric numbers are seen as doing a great job even though they may not be doing the quality work that every order deserves. If you are below the metric numbers, no matter the reason or high quality of your work, it is seen as doing a poor job. The company is so set it it's ways that when a problem is pointed out with evidence, it just gets looked over. You have to really compromise yourself when your do this job sometimes. It doesn't matter that you do quality work, what matters is making more money by getting products to the customers by any means.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
